For Highly Skilled Workers, Entrepreneurs and Investors, we manage Tier 1 applications from start to finish on a ‘No Win – No Fee’ basis. We assist existing HSMP Visa holders to either extend their visa or switch to a Tier 1 (General) visa – depending on current status. We also enable other qualifying overseas nationals working here in the UK or currently overseas to obtain or switch to a Tier 1 (General) visa.

With the new Tier 4 category due for launch in March 2009, Work Permit Centre will be ready and able to assist students and educational establishments make the appropriate applications within the new points-based system. For those approaching, or having already achieved, graduation we can assist with all forms of UK work permit applications including Tier 1 (General), Tier 1 (Post-Study Worker) and Tier 2 (General). We strongly advise contacting us at an early stage, and ideally at least six months before completion of studies, so that we can assist with the preparatory work and ensure that all evidence is properly compiled for a successful application.
For Employers wishing to employ skilled workers under Tier 2 or Tier 5, it is necessary for them first to have a Sponsor Licence.
